Just back from MW....
Hi girls
Me again... just back from mw appmnt (40 weeks, eek!!).
I got another sweep so praying this one works! :roll:
Also... she said my blood tests came back and i have low platelets. Should be above 150 and mines are 123. She took more blood to see if theyve gone up. Seemingly if theyre low, i may lose alot of blood during labour and need a transfusion afterwards ?
Anyone else experienced this?
I am still only 2cm dilated grr!! But she said everything is nice and ready and baby is realy low, so hopefully i will go naturally soon. If not, when i see her next week, she will book me in to get induced!! ffs!
Everyone send labour vibes my wa please!!!!

Nothing really new to say , few more pains ie- cramping, but im sure i had them after my last sweep and that did nothing.
I am just soo pissed off and hubby thinks its funny
I cant believe my luck, going overdue was my worst fear, but if i have to wait another 2 weeks and be induced, thats my worst nighmare!!! :x
I keep shouting at my bump saying 'come out!!!'
Sharon xx
I am really hoping she decides to come out soon!! Such a popular little girl already! I think i would be doing the same shouting for her to come oout if it was me lol! have you tried all the sex, pineapples and curries they say? lol
xx
I dont believe anything works
Well i go back to see mw next wed when ill be 1 week late and she will give me a date for being induced. Grr!! :x
Hope things start naturally very soon!
My next door neighbour is in her 70's and she was telling me yday to get the castor oil down me lol, she said she had it with orange juice with all 3 her kids and it worked within hours. I said the mw's dont recommend that but she said mw's are alot of shite and there was no such thing as midwive's in her day and ive to get it and do it 2day!
I am soo tempted but what if it makes me ill, i dont wana give birth shitting and spewing on myself
xx
I don't really no much about Castor oil being first time mum to be and only 20 nearly 21 lol!! Why do they say don't have it?? i don't blame you for being tempted if that works!

Im not sure exactly what castor oil does either but its something like it totally clears you out (bowels) and that can trigger contractions and send you into labour. Seems tempting eh? But its meant to taste rank and it can make you feel really ill, so im not sure if it's worth it.
I dont even know where to get it from ?
This is my 1st baby too, im 24 on Sat, so im not too clued up on it all either yet lmao
Thanks Emmsy.. it wouldnt be so bad if i only had to get my waters broke, i didnt know that
Might get the knitting needle out ;\) ;\)
xx
I will be 21 two weeks after my due date 5th june! lol.
Maybe ask on here how many people have tried castor oil on the baby forum might be able to get some help?

It seems to be a 50/50 thing. Women have taken it and labour has started it, or could this just be a coincedence.
Good luck, and I hope she comes soon!
Sending you labour vibes!!
